I have written it before, but this one is definitely worth a REPEAT READ...
Just Stay
The nurse took the tired, anxious young officer to the bedside.
"Your son is here," she said to the old man (patient), lying in bed.
She had to repeat the words several times before the old man's eyes opened.
Heavily sedated because of the pain of his terminal illness, the old man dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing beside. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.
The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there in the dimly lit ward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move aside and rest awhile.
He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients...
Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.
Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding all night - and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.
Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her...
"Who was that man?" he asked.
The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered puzzled.
"No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life."
"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"
"I knew right away there had been a mistake," replied the officer. "But I also understood he needed his son, and his son just wasn't here."
"When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed."
"I came here tonight to find a Mr. William Grey. His Son was Killed in Iraq today, and I was sent to inform him. What was this Gentleman's Name?"
The Nurse with Tears in Her Eyes Answered, "William Grey".
**************
The next time someone needs you ... just be there... Stay.
We are not Human Beings going thru a Temporary Spiritual Experience...
We are Spiritual Beings going thru a Temporary Human Experience !
Have a great day and Bless someone else - in some little way - today !
GOD IS SO GOOD.

Living is simple - let's keep our lives simple too...
Sometime ago, when the ice-creams were not so expensive, a ten-year old boy went to an ice-cream parlour.
While sitting at the table, he asked the waitress, “How much does a Sundae cost?” “50 cents,” she replied.
The boy took out his money from the pocket and began counting it.
“Well, how much does a simple ice-cream cost?".
There were other people waiting to be served, so the waitress began to get a little impatient. "35 cents!" she replied abruptly.
The boy counted his money again and said: “Please get me a simple ice-cream!"
The waitress served him the ice-cream and his bill. The boy ate his ice-cream, paid his bill at the cash counter and left.
When the waitress went to clean the table she began to cry...
...for there, in the corner of the plate, were 15 cents... her tip.
The boy took a simple ice-cream to maintain the dignity of life.
Life is so simple, isn't it?

Some Practical Lessons of Life...
#1
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and their manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'
'Me first! Me first!' says the ADMIN CLERK... 'I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world...'
Poof! She's gone.
'Me next! Me next!' says the SALES REP... 'I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas, and the love of my life.'
Poof! He's gone.
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the MANAGER. The manager says, 'I want those two back in my office after lunch.'
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
________________________________________________________________________
#2
An EAGLE was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.
A small RABBIT saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground, below the eagle, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared - jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very-very high up.
________________________________________________________________________
#3
A TURKEY was chatting with a BULL. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree', sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull... It's full of nutrients.'
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch...
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree - Dead.
Moral of the story:
Bull-s-h-i-t might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there - for long...
________________________________________________________________________
#4
A little BIRD was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a COW came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing in joy. A passing CAT heard the bird singing and came to investigate... discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, promptly dug him out and ate him.
Moral of the story:
(1) Not everyone who s-h-i-ts on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of s-h-i-t is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep s-h-i-t, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

I Believe
I believe – that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean that they don't love
each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I believe – that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I believe – that no matter how good a friend is, they are going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe- that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I believe – that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I believe – that its taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe – that you should always leave loved one with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I believe – that you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I believe – that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I believe – that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I believe – that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I believe – that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe – that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be
the ones to help you get back up.
I believe – that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I believe – that maturity has more to do with what type of experiences you've had and what've you learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I believe – that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe – that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I believe – that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are but we are responsible for who we become.
I believe – that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I believe – that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I believe – that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I believe- that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I believe that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon...(R.I.P Mom)
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have.
‘The will of God never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'
